Please note that I am in no way endorsing nutritional ketosis as a supplement to, or a replacement for medication. As you’ll see below, data exploring the potential neuroprotective effects of ketosis are still scarce, and we don’t yet know the side effects of a long-term ketogenic diet. This post talks about the SCIENCE behind ketosis, and is not meant in any way as medical advice. It's not bacon; it's therapy! Source: Ren?

In the 1860s, the physician Pierre Paul Broca was intrigued by two of his patients who were unable to speak. After they died, Broca examined their brains.
How the Brain Makes and Breaks Habits – Neuroscience News. Summary: Researchers report they have identified a neural pathway involved in switching between habitual behavior and deliberate decision making.

נתון מדהים על תאי עצב: מרביתם נוצרים בשלב העוברי וממשיכים ללוות אותנו במשך שארית חיינו. בשונה מתאים אחרים בגוף שמתחדשים באופן תדיר, תאי עצב לא עוברים חלוקה תאית. המשמעות היא שהתאים הללו יקרים מפז, הן בשל התפקיד הקריטי שלהם והן משום שמידת ההתחדשות שלהם נמוכה. עד לא מזמן האמינו ביולוגים כי הנוירונים לא מתחדשים כלל וכי הערכה שאתה נולדנו מכילה את תאי העצב היחידים שיעמדו לרשותנו במהלך כל החיים.
A brain link to autism: Neurotransmitter that ties in with disorder’s behavior. In a discovery that could offer valuable new insights into understanding, diagnosing and even treating autism, Harvard scientists for the first time have linked a specific neurotransmitter in the brain with autistic behavior. Using a visual test that is known to prompt different reactions in autistic and normal brains, a research team led by Caroline Robertson, a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows, was able to show that those differences were associated with a breakdown in the signaling pathway used by GABA, one of the brain's chief inhibitory neurotransmitters.

The study is described in a paper in Current Biology. "This is the first time, in humans, that a neurotransmitter in the brain has been linked to autistic behavior - full stop," Robertson said. "This theory—that the GABA signaling pathway plays a role in autism—has been shown in animal models, but until now we never had evidence for it actually causing autistic differences in humans.

Single Artificial Neuron Taught to Recognize Hundreds of Patterns. Artificial intelligence is a field in the midst of rapid, exciting change. That’s largely because of an improved understanding of how neural networks work and the creation of vast databases to help train them.

The result is machines that have suddenly become better at things like face and object recognition, tasks that humans have always held the upper hand in (see “Teaching Machines to Understand Us”).

New MIND diet may significantly protect against Alzheimer's disease. A new diet, appropriately known by the acronym MIND, could significantly lower a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, even if the diet is not meticulously followed, according to a paper published online for subscribers in March in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.

Rush nutritional epidemiologist Martha Clare Morris, PhD, and colleagues developed the "Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay" (MIND) diet. The study shows that the MIND diet lowered the risk of AD by as much as 53 percent in participants who adhered to the diet rigorously, and by about 35 percent in those who followed it moderately well.

Édouard Claparède. Not to be confused with René-Edouard Claparède (1832–1871), professor of comparative anatomy.

Édouard Claparède (March 24, 1873 – September 29, 1940) was a Swiss neurologist, child psychologist, and educator. Career[edit] Claparede studied science and medicine, receiving in 1897 an MD from the University of Geneva, and working 1897-98 at La Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. In 1901 he founded the Archives de psychologie with his cousin, Théodore Flournoy,[1] which he edited until his death. He was based from 1904 onward at the University of Geneva, where he became director of the experimental psychology lab.[2] Lev Vygotsky published an important review of visual agnosia.[3] He also worked on infant psychology and teaching, and forms an important link between Jean-Jacques Rousseau's views and the stage theories of Jean Piaget in those fields.[4] He was married to Hélène Spir, daughter of the Russian philosopher African Spir.

Brain foods: the effects of nutrients on brain function. 259. Brain Food: Superfoods To Improve Your Cognitive Function. Get Healthy Living Newsletters: We've all had those days when we just can't seem to concentrate. And while there's no magic pill to bring us back to the height of our cognitive powers, there are some foods that have been shown to improve brain function, protect against age-associated cognitive decline and encourage focus and clarity. But before you dismiss the diet-brain connection as mere conjecture, keep in mind that study after study has found a relationship between what we put in our mouths and how well we can perform important thinking and memory tasks.

While certain nutrients may specifically assist brain function, there is also the totality of our diets to consider.
